Calculating Formulas

Area = π * (D^2 - d^2) / 4

Moment of Inertia = π * (D^4 - d^4) / 64

Radius of Gyration = sqrt(Moment of Inertia / Area)

Where:
D = Outer Diameter
d = Inner Diameter

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the outer diameter and wall thickness of the tube or pipe in the input fields.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the area, moment of inertia, and radius of gyration.
  3. The results will be displayed in the respective fields.

Understanding the Formulas

The calculator uses standard formulas for calculating the properties of a hollow circular tube or pipe:

  • Area is calculated as the area of the outer circle minus the area of the inner circle.
  • Moment of Inertia is the second moment of area about the centroidal axis.
  • Radius of Gyration is the square root of the moment of inertia divided by the area.
